Yes. It's all idiot radio. All the time.
JACK-FM formatted stations don't ID songs at all. You have to log into their
website as a "club" member and then hunt through their playlist by
time-of-day to find out the name of the obscure '80s track they dug
up....and will then play 100 times in the month.
